For Arts Sake

My kids are aware that I hate to draw, can't even draw an apple image, worst, even I can't appreciate my own drawing which is why when I need to help my daughter with her assignment and it requires me to draw, oh boy, it feels like forever to finish the assignment. No wonder why Acey is not fond of drawings too. My eldest CJ, can not draw what is being ask in his assigment like " a kid keeping the room clean" or "a kid praying before bedtime'" but he is good at drawing anime and superheroes, maybe because it is something he enjoys watching.

I can dance, I can act but I must admit I do not have talent in fine arts although I can appreciate paintings or drawings in canvass or any framed artwork like the Victoria Montesinos. I also look forward of having the opportunity to attend art gallery exhibits. I love to see flowers framed art work hanged in our living room while I prefer wall decals in our bedrooms. When we were still living in an apartment, I bought a few frames and my helper then observed and asked me why all the drawings in the frame I bought are all flowers and I actually do not know the answer. So now that I have my own house and when I have the budget to have it painted, I will buy frames that will complement the color of the paint and it doesn't have to be flower drawings this time.

Picture Perfect

One of the reasons why I keep on visiting a certain blog is because of a post backed up with captivating pictures. Usually food blogs contain the step by step procedure on how the food is being prepared and cooked and of course it includes a picture of the final product. The food in the picture becomes more appetizing and appealing to readers when it’s taken using high end cameras but the good news is you don’t need to have an expensive camera to produce better quality pictures, Acobox is the answer.

Acobox collects, screens, and hosts quality pictures for bloggers. All images are properly license, optimized for blog. For adding a picture to blog post, what blogger needs to do is simply copying and pasting a piece of image code, without downloading, resizing, uploading the image file. It's simple, easy, and free!

Family Pictorial

On the day of hubby's flight going back to Qatar, we decided to go to a photo studio before heading to airport for a family photo shoot. I decided to bring 2 different color tops for each so the pix will be a little bit formal. Days before that,I already have in mind we will be doing this thing. I wanted to change the family photo taken in 2004 displayed in our house. So I already knew what shirts to get from our respective cabinets/drawers. My favorite photo studio "Fotokido" was still close at that time but luckily, across the street, a wedding photo studio was already open and they accomodated us. We opted for unlimited shots and have it burned in a CD, then I chose the shots I like & had them printed by my friend Ednalee. Take a peek at our newest family photos:

Clouds

A fellow employee took the following picture exactly a week ago using a point & shoot camera. This is in front of our company office with its huge parking lot. I really think the shot is amazing and the thick clouds was so real.
